Sweden seizes vessel suspected of 'sabotage' after undersea data cable rupture in Baltic Sea

I've mentioned it before, but I'll say it again: It's getting to a point where I would like to see the coast guard or navy simply sail up to one of these ships, say nothing, put a couple 76mm shells in their bow to sink them, and sail away. When Russia and/or China come bitching you answer "What? No! These are baseless accusations! We haven't even had a ship in that area for months!" make sure to keep the AIS turned on during the entire thing for added effect.

See how long they keep cutting cables after you've done that a couple times.

Russia doesn't care about calling out. They'll just complain about the lack of proof and how unfair the West is.

They'll respond more to use of force and playing their stupid game. Seize a few Russian ships by "pirates" or have a few sudden "machine room fires" and tell Russia "for your safety, stay away from that region or pay us for an escort".

This is the 4th cable too, 2nd of vessel seizure

Last time the cable connected Estonia, this time it's a cable to Latvia. And it's another ship with a different owner, yes.
